The monograph apprehends Kurt Schwitters’ (1887-1948) art program MERZ as an autonomous aesthetic design. In doing so, it places the avantgarde-artist in a discourse tradition that began around 1800. As a result, the study generates the realisation that in regard to Schwitters ‘aesthetic autonomy’ and ‘historical avant-garde’ should be thought of as a genealogy.
